The scene you're referring to was added in the special edition (1997). Boba Fett's first appearance was in fact in an animated sequence of the famously bad holiday special (1978) which depicts events a year after episode 4 and 2 years prior to episode 5.

You've never been to Chicago have you?There are murders, but they almost entirely gang on gang. Hell, most of them aren't even gangs, they're just teenagers being idiots. I've lived nearby, visited often and never felt threated or gotten mugged. The part of the city where all the museums are (I'm assuming that's where this will go) is very nice and well policed. Also, thanks to the supreme court, you can carry a handgun for protection now!

Sell the theatrical versions on HD media for ANH/ESB/ROTJ in the gift shop.

No CG bullshit, Han shoots first, and Sebastian Shaw is Anakin at the end of ROTJ. Complete with all the wonderful compositing errors around the miniatures and fighters in the space scenes (it's that slight colour mismatch you can sometimes see around things where they glued the footage together to create the final shots).

I'm basically talking about the Laserdisc versions on Bluray or something, dumped from those special archival ree

I like most of the CG. The only problem is the stupid extra bits that were added. I have no problem with a dewback closer to the foreground, or no blur under the landspeeder. The Ronton, the "Han shot first" bit and Jabba are seriously the only problems.

When the current generation who grew up on Star Wars go away, will it remain in public memory like paintings or music, or even cinema? And that too at Chicago, home to excellent museums.
Me thinks there is no permanence to Star Wars. Its already looking dated and silly.
Meanwhile '2012 A Space Odyssey' still feels fresh.

That's about the silliest way to phrase a question I've ever heard... I know, it's probably meant to sound intellectual, but really you just sound like a pretentious jackass to ask "will this movie be remembered like this type of art, that type of art, and movies?"

Hardly surprising. This is the same kind of decision typically made by large entertainment ventures - e.g., Six Flags, Universal, etc. - after doing careful studies of population density, demographics and travel connections.

You've all heard the "... there are N millions of people within a 4-hour drive or 1 flight,no transfer, from Y amusement park." Yep, same math.

While New York or LA may be closer to the entertainment industry, Chicago is central to the people who matter most - The fans.

If you stuck a pin in Chicago on the map and plotted a circle to estimate how many millions of people live within 2 states in any given direction - easy traveling considering the transportation arteries that converge into I-80 & I-94 - it's a hell of a lot of people. That one of the largest, most capable international airports in the world - O'Hare - sits on the edge of town, massively connected through multiple rail, bus and taxi lines - is a big fat cherry on top.

This is the kind of head-scratching math that puts enormous amusement parks like Kings Island in Cincinnati Ohio, or Six Flags halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee in the middle of nowhere - because they are actually in the middle of a ton of midwesterners unafraid of a car trip.

Having the ability to ride the nations' only electric interstate train all the way from South Bend, Indiana to Millennium Station in the heart of downtown Chicago for $22 round trip - I can't wait for the museum to open!

Lucas originally wanted this location [google.com] for his monument to himself. It's in open space in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, with unobstructed views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco Bay, and Alcatraz. That's one of the great urban waterfront public spaces of the world. So that plan was very unpopular in SF. Another location was proposed, some unused piers a few miles down the waterfront in the tourist waterfront area, but that wasn't dramatic enough for Lucas.

No... that needs to be reserved for the Star Trek museum. Where was San Francisco in Star Wars? Nowhere... but the center of the Star Trek Universe is... you got it... Star Fleet Academy in San Francisco.

Along with permanent exhibits, such as theaters running constant loops of Greedo shooting first and Indiana Jones fighting aliens, there can be loaned works, such as the Mona Lisa. Da Vinci changed her frown to a smile in the re-release.

... they're doing it while many still have somewhat of a high regard for the franchise.
Once Disney's marketing prodigies butcher the upcoming installments, I think that Star Wars may become the poster-child for the evils of unchecked corporate oversight.
It may take until the 25th century for that stigma to wane; just in time build a museum in New Chicago.
